General Description
Gain precious time with a turnkey solution for teaching the fundamentals of industrial mechanics
The Mechanical drives learning system exposes students to the hardware, tools, measuring apparatus, and
methods used by industrial mechanics to keep plants running. It covers the identification, installation, and
troubleshooting of common machine elements, and is suitable for beginners in vocational schools, as well as
industrial mechanics who need to refresh their basic skills.
Hardware is of industrial-grade, yet small and light enough to be handled by one student. Most of the hands-on
exercises take place inside an ergonomic and safe workstation which is the foundation of the system.
The Mechanical drives learning system is divided into a Workstation package (required for all topics) and four
levels. Each level consists of separate models that include hardware, tools, measuring apparatus, and instructor
manuals. Optional topics and hardware are also offered.

System of units (SI versions only)

The SI version of the system is be designed with components and manuals that use the International System of
Units, abbreviated SI (m, kg, etc.)

Electrical network (SI versions only)

The SI version of the system is available for 120 V, 60 Hz and 230 V, 50/60 Hz electrical networks. The 230 V,
50/60 Hz version of the workstation is CE compliant.

Languages for hardware and manuals (SI versions only)

The 120 V, 60 Hz system is available in English, Spanish and French. The 230 V, 50/60 Hz system is available in
English, Spanish, French and German.

Features & Benefits

• Safe and ergonomic workstation

Mechanical Drives Training System, SI Units – Level 1 (add-on)
594777 (4610010)
Properly aligned pulleys, sprockets, and
gears as well as adjustment of belt
tension, chain slack and gear backlash are
essential in mechanical drives. The Level 1
package includes hardware and tools to
master these skills.
Future industrial mechanics must be
trained to master the fundamental skills
related to the identification, installation,
and maintenance of belt, chain, and gear
drives to minimize vibration, maximize
power transmission, and help ensure that
components reach their expected service-
life.
The manuals of the Level 1 package guide
the students step-by-step during their learning process with several photos and illustrations. The pulleys,
sprockets and gears are stored on a panel for quick identification and inventory control.

Mechanical Drives Training System, SI Units – Level 4 (add-on)

594781 (4610040)
This package introduces clutches for
various operating conditions along
with their proper installation
procedures. And the topic ball screws
and linear bearings introduces the
main components and proper
assembly steps of a linear slide.
Several industrial applications, such
as some conveyors, may require a load
to be engaged/disengaged or braked
while the motor keeps running. Other
applications require the torque to be
limited to protect mechanical equipment from overload caused by shock loads or machine jamming. The topic
Clutches and brakes introduces those aspects and presents clutches for various operating conditions along with
their proper installation procedures.
In modern industry, ball screws and linear bearings are commonly used to transform rotational movement into
linear movement, and vice versa. Typical applications include many types of machine tools, such as CNC mills
and drills. The topic Ball screws and linear bearings introduces the main components and proper assembly
steps of a linear slide. Essential concepts of maintenance and lubrication of linear bearings, ball screws, and
ball nuts are also covered.
The manuals of the Level 4 package guide the students step-by-step during their learning process with several
photos and illustrations. The main hardware is stored on panels for quick identification and inventory control.

Optional Equipment Description

Vibration Metering (SI units) (add-on to Level 1) (Optional)
593838 (46894-00)
Vibration occurs in all rotating machines as a response to
internal and external forces. The intensity of vibration depends
on a large variety of factors and even new machines vibrate to
some extent. However, as the equipment is used and subjected
to wear, the intensity of vibration tends to increase. Excessive
vibration in a system can cause various types of damage and
faults and ultimately cause the system to fail. It is therefore
important to detect and correct the causes of excessive vibration
before failure occurs. The goal of the Vibration metering package
is to locate and understand the causes of vibration and be able
to determine how to mitigate or eliminate these causes.
